  1. It is one of the Ancient Ones, They Who Have Only FOUR Numbers! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Welcome back. I can't offer you any help personally, but I do have a Garrisson-mate and fellow TK whose side business is making latex masks and horror makeup. He might be interested ...
  2. A Walt's Trooper Factory kit that I wore at Nickel City Comic Con today (after my 501st troop - official trooping comes first):
  3. We have a thread for that :
  4. Those are approvable, particularly for Rogue One/Anthology TKs and their related costumes (Night Troopers, Artillery Troopers and the new Incinerator Troopers). But if you're making an Original Trilogy TK (ANH, ESB, RoTJ) or their related costumes (found here), there are less expensive options. Most of us use nomex flight gloves, which tend to cost half the price of the Keep Trooping gloves.
  5. Just ordered mine off of Walmart.com, if that helps ...
  6. The left picture looks like the spats, but the right

    Happy Stormtrooper Day And an attempt to share for those who can't see Imgur anymore: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hsVjtN-qgtXUPSMOxDGA1BALCNyjYxc9/view?usp=sharing
  9. Imperial Boots is now Keep Trooping. Try this link for OT boots: https://keeptrooping.com/product/421-classic-white/
  10. Amazon and Hasbro Pulse, according to the article I read.
  11. That’s what I was thinking.
  12. At a quick glance, it looks good for basic approval to me; but l’m going to leave detailed feedback to the experts. When you say that you lost contact with your GML, do you mean you’ve been communicating during your refitting of the costume, and he’s not replying anymore; or you sent your submission pictures a month ago and haven’t heard from him yet? When I first joined our GML at the time was terrible at communicating anything. I waited almost two months after submitting my TK to write to our GXO (who I had trooped with) to find out what was going on with my submission.
  13. Hey Joe, glad to see that you made it here. I see you found the Imperial Commando section (which is great, ‘cause like I said - you’ll get a lot of great feedback here) and that you’ve reprinted your chest (it looks good btw).
  14. @CrookKnight used to make the various backpacks - you could try getting in touch with him.
  15. Same here. And since I have the habit of having subforums open across multiple tabs, I could be signed in one tab and signed out in another at the same time.
  16. Chrome on iOS on my MacBook - no problems. Chrome on iOS on the iPad - fine until a couple of hours ago, then it logged me out and won’t let log back in. Safari on the iPad - working so far. Edit: And it just logged me out in Safari, but re-logged me in in Chrome 🤷🏻‍♂️
  17. Similar to @Morgi, I added alternating tabs to my kidney and ab plates to help eliminate any overlapping.
  18. I thought that was the Wolfman, er, Wolfporg Did Hasbro give this mummy the Staff of Ra?
  19. If I remember correctly, the Stormtrooper Sniper was from the original Battlefront game. So the base armor would be RoTJ, then add the blue pauldron and whatever rifle they had in the game. But before that, someone would need to provide reference shots from the game.
  20. Happy building, but remember - don’t try to make ABS sludge in plastic bottles
  21. While I support this idea, keep in mind that you won’t be the only one removing the detonators. Mischievous younglings and fellow troopers can’t resist trying to snatch them. There’s a fellow TK in my garrison who loses his detonator at least once a troop (it’s ended up on someone else’s kit, on the props table, with the droids, on his bin in the change room … ). Now I’m off to try and figure out how to incorporate @gmrhodes13’s foam detonator idea into my ROTK build …
  22. While there is the "501st For Sale/Trade" sub-forum, now the you've made 5 posts you should have access to the "Imperial Commissary" section, which contains the general for sale threads. The newest F-11 thread I found at a quick glance was 5 years old, but I've been known to miss things. There's also the 3D files section, if you have access to a printer, and the "Weapons of the First Order," where you can find where others got their F-11s.
  23. I’m 5’11” and 180 lbs and have an 850 kit. There’s enough length in the arms and legs that your extra couple of inches shouldn’t be a problem, and you probably won’t have to trim any off the top of the ab. I replaced the shoulder bridges and will be converting a Black Series helmet. The 850 helmet is … well, just use something else. But if I had ready access to a 3D printer, I’d rather be building using Akira Yuming’s files.
